Frequently Asked Questions
How does the free registration contest work?
Look here for details.
If I register myself and a friend for the same lecture series, does that qualify as registering in two series for the contest?
No. To qualify the registrations must be for two different lecture series. The purpose of the Contest is to encourage members to become involved in more than one lecture series in a session.
Do you offer any ‘in person’ courses?
As we did for the fall 2023 season, we are offering an ‘in person’ fall 2024 lecture series on Wednesdays at Fairfield Seniors’ Centre, 80 Lothian Avenue, Etobicoke.
Must I wear a mask to attend an ‘in person’ course?
No, mask wearing is not mandatory; however, we ask that you respect other persons’ decisions and health needs in terms of mask wearing.
Should Federal/Provincial/Municipal Health regulations concerning mask wearing change during this lecture series, Learning Unlimited will revise the above mask wearing rule(s) to align with the newly revised official Health regulations, and will advise you of same.
Do both spouses have to register and pay separately to attend the ‘in person’ course?
Yes: like any live ‘in person’ event, each individual must pay an entry fee and purchase his/her own separate ticket.
If two spouses in one household wish to register for a ZOOM course this year, similar to prior years, can they do so with only one course registration and one payment, as in the past?
Yes: this is still permitted for residents of the same household for any Zoom lecture series.
Why do I need to keep my payment receipt for an ‘in person’ lecture series?
At the first lecture, you will show your payment receipt at the entry door in order to be given your permanent entry badge for this lecture series. The badge will bear your name and will be contained in a plastic case on a cord.
This entry badge will be your entrance ticket to all subsequent lectures in an in-person series. You will be required to show this badge every week when you enter the auditorium door at every lecture. Please do not lose this badge.
Will there be coffee/tea service provided at break time between lecture end and the start of the Q & A session?
Because of new congestion safety rules at Fairfield, we are no longer permitted to serve beverages/snacks in the halls. You are welcome to use the water fountains in the hall or bring your personal water bottle with you.
What time do both the ZOOM and in person lecture series run?
All 3 series commence at 10 AM (Eastern Time) and run until 12 noon.
When can I register for the next season’s lecture series?
Registration for the fall 2024 season will open on or around Labour Day, 2024.
How much do series cost?
In-person lecture series cost $48.00; those delivered via Zoom cost $40.00. Payment can be made through PayPal, using either your PayPal account OR a credit card linked to PayPal.
How are lectures delivered?
Most lectures are offered on ZOOM. A link to join a lecture will be sent to you when you register, AND in reminder emails one day and then one hour before each lecture begins. ALWAYS KEEP AT LEAST ONE OF THESE EMAILS, or you may not be able to join the lectures. The links in the original email and all reminder emails are exactly the same; any of them can be used to join any of the lectures in a series. This is your personal ticket, and it should not be shared outside your household.
What should I do if I have registered but don’t receive the link?
If you don’t receive confirmation emails from both PayPal and Zoom within 8 hours of registering, send an email to the LU Registrar, at registrar@learningunlimitedetobicoke.com.
Is registration limited by where I live or travel?
No; our links work wherever Zoom is available.
Do people residing together each need to register and pay for the same lecture series on Zoom?
No. However, purchased links are to be shared only within a household. If it appears that this policy is being violated, the Registrar may communicate this policy to the registrant; if it is determined that the policy is being violated, LUE reserves the right to cancel the registration without giving a refund. We recognize that some of our clientele may be elderly, infirm or disabled in one manner or another, and such factors may cause us to relax our policy in individual cases.
Are lectures recorded for later playback?
Yes. Each Zoom lecture will be recorded, and will be available to registered members for 6 days. If you are registered for a series, you will get an email with a link to the recording, sometime in the afternoon of the day the lecture was presented
How do I cancel my registration?
To cancel a registration, use the Cancel Your Registration link in your confirmation email from Zoom. You must do this before the start of the first lecture in the series, if you want to receive a refund.
If I cannot attend a lecture series for which I’ve registered, will my money be refunded?
Refunds will be issued if you cancel at any time BEFORE the start of the first lecture in a series.
Can I switch my registration to another Series?
This can only be done prior to the start of the first lecture in the series. Use the Cancel Registration link in your confirmation email (from ZOOM), and then re-register for a different series.
